Race Troubles In Lawrence.

Special Correspondence of the LEADER
MONTICELLO, Oct. 3, 1887.
a considerable race excitement
has just been stirred up in this coun-
tv ten miles south of this place. The
whites discovered what they believ-
ed to he a plot of the colored people
10 txterminate the white malt OF
the country and take possession Of
everything themselves, includiI & the
white females. The first disclosure"
seems to have been made by Il color
ed woman who expressed regret
that her people were about 10 take Il
step for which she thought they
would be sorry. This led To some
investigation aud the tact developed
that the coIored people were holding
mysterious secret meetings, though
they claim that these were for the
purpose OF organizing secret colored
benevolent societies which were with
out political c0loring or race anlmns-
tiles. BE this as it may, the whites
collected large force OF armed men,
some say 300 strong, and began The
work Of wholesale arrests. We IN
derotand that no one was ynchcd or
committed to Jail, but quite a mum
Der were severely whipped, amongst
which we recall the names of Rich
ard Sartin, jim Roberts and Clint
Stringer. About GO coiored men, We
learn, have been notified to leave the
county and State immediately.
Whether these extreme measures
can be justified by the real facts is
Il matter of diversity of opinion with
the people WHO we're non-comhaf-
ants. Many are claiming that it was
n we'll matured plot Of the c"lored
people to have its headquarters at
Jackson; but this theory is rendered
very unreasonable when it is remem'
bered that the portion Of the coun-
try where the trouble arose has fewer
colored people than any other por-
lion of the county, the relative pro-
portion of whites to blacks being
laced at about 5 to l..
If the colored people are nursing
such nspiracies, it shows how easy
their good feelings for the whites
are destroyed; if the charges are an
true, it shows how easy the whites
can have their confidence in colUred
friendship destroyed.

Official Organ OF the Alliance.

At their meeting last Friday the
Farmers Alliance of Lawrence
county adopted The LEADER a.
their official organ. The following
is the resolution which was unani.
mousIy adopted, the proyiso being
cheerfully accepted by us:
Resolved, That the BRooKHAvES
LEADER be adopted as the local or
gan Tor the County and Subordinate
Alliances of Lawrence comfy;
Provided. that two columns Of said
paper be set aside for Alliance mat
tcrs.
The Lincoln county Alliance
meets Tomorrow, and in this con-
ncction We would suggest that il
they consider it desirable to have
4 local organ with department es-
lecially devoted to their interests,
it would be u wise plan for them
also to adopt The LEADER for that
purpose. Thus they would get the
benefit Of the Lawrence county
department, and the members Of the
Lawrence county Alliances get the
benefit Of Lincoln county's. Any
reasonable smount of space will be
accorded the Lincoln Alliance for
lis use, and as the LEADER has a
large and constantly increasing
circulation among the best class
of farmers in the county, they would
find the arrangement especially
advantageous.

An Editor Horse-Whlpped by
Brutal jSaloonists.

Holly Springs, our sister town, has
been all cxcitment for the past
few days, over the brutal and un.
manly assault made on the editor of
the Evening Sun, 4 new paper, by
Tom Sigman, Jules Sigman, Lige
Wilkerson and Preston FAINT, on last
| Friday. The editor, w. II. Rev.
nulds, made severe dcnunciation
of the liquor tr; flic and all connect.
ed with it in his paper--cIassing
saloonists as bruics dealing out dam.
nation to brutCs. The PAPER also
contained some severe structures on
the municipal authorities Of the
place, claiming that Mayor FAINT
was in sympathy with the sale of
whisky. This severe denunciation

son of the mayor. that they deter
mined to have vengeance, ii blood
shed was necessary. Tom SigmaD
met Rey nOIds on the streets, slapped
him in the face, knocked him down
on the pavement and gave him a
severe kicking. Reynolds finally
succeeded in making his escape and
went to bis cffice. Later on Jules
SigmaD. Lige Wilkerson and Pres
ton FAINT, son OF the mayor, armed
themselves with loaded horse whip,
and probably fire arms, and went TO
the editors office. They filed in
and found the editor husily engaged
distributing type, aud without n
warning, one Of them jrIked him off
his stool by the collar, while the
other applied the whip TO the poor
editors back, bringing forth the
blood at every lash. During this
time Preston FAINT, son of the mayor,
was standing guard at the door,
deiying anyon admittancc. Finally
the Deputy Sheriff arrived and for
ced his way in and arrested the
beligerents. Over one hundred
lashes were applied. The people Of
Holly Springs are thoroughly arous-
ed and an Indignation meeting was
held, passing severe resolutions in
condemnation of the brutal attack
on the editor, and fund is being
literally subscribed to by the best
citizens Of the place TO have the
rutiians properly punished for their
hideous crime. Horse-w hipping is
penitentiary otiense in Mississippi,
and these brutes. in human form,
should get the fullest benefit Of the
enalty. Tom Sigman, who made
The first attack, says now that he
would have given $1,000 if the diff
Guilty had not occurred. The editor
declares his intention To pursue the
course he has begun and will wage
an uncta>ing Nalfare against the

said that mru " no signed petitions

have taken their uames Oft and have
subscribed to the fund to prosecute
The men who 50 hrutaliv attacked
The editor Of The sun. This atfdir
has been lcn->tIikc against liquor
selling in Holly Springs. However,
all those selling whisky in that
place are not responsible Tor this
affair, and should not be cundenncd

school Exhibition Near CaseyvIIle.
Editor Br5okhsven Leader.

Editor Brookhsven Leader:
After a long ride through the country
on the evening uf the 23rtl, We arrived ut
the hospitable home of that genial aud
clever gentleman, Mr.. Ford Smith, where
the exhibition of Grange Hall school,
Taught by Mr.. Edgar Greene, vas to he
held. We were astonishcd at the great
number of people in attendance.
4 long table had been erected across
the front yard, and although we arrived
too late 10 partako of the magnificent
supper Which had been spead, We were in
time To see the remnants thereof and
feel satisfied that there was nothing lack
ing in that direction.
Soon after the immense crowd had
satisfied their mouths with good things
the string band began to discourse sweet
music. The gallery of Mr.. Smiths house
had been converted (for the time) into n
rOstrum, in front of which seats had been
placed for the accommodation of the
large audience. At six z. NJ. the curtains
were drawn back and prayer offered by
Rev. Mr. Hines followed by IA song.
The program, consisting of tableaux,
songs, recitations and dialogues, was
varied and entertaining. Some of the
pupils deserve special mention. "MarS S
Hungry prayer" by the sweet little Lou
Decell was rendered in a clear, distinct
tone, unsurpassed 10y one of her years.
Asleep at the Switch" by the beautiful
and winsOme Miss Mary Smith, was hi gh-
ly appreciated by all. Misses Clara APP
plewhite, pet" Wells, and many others
acquitted themselves with great credit
"The Virginia Mummy" was leading
feature of the evening. The principal
parts were acted by Mr.. G. Strayon, Miss
Clara Apple " bite and Mr. Is. Applewhite;
while l.. l.. Anding entertained the audi-
eDce as "Ginger Blue" Mr.. Anding bids
fair to become "star" if he turns his
attention in that direction.
The pupils all displayed good training
and many of them more than lone tai
ent."
The handsome young teacher is to be
complimented on his good taste and ex-
ecutive ability. In selecting the pro-
gram and the mastery way in which it
was CARED out, he won great applause.
His many friends in Caseyville neighbor-
hood regret very much to lose him, as he
returned to his home in Copiah county,
from whence he is shortly to leave for
Clinton where he will again enter
College. SPECTATOR.

A New Departure.

Rev. j. w. Mcneil has assumed
lie horticultural cditorship Of the
Crystal Springs Meteor and here
after that paper will be devoted al
most exclusively to the fruit and
vegetable interest. Crystal Springs
is the pioneer in this business-the
horticultural hub" Of the State,
and it is to that place we must look
for the most practical information.
Mr.. Mcneil is large, experienced
and successful fruit and vegetable
grower, an able writer, and will give
valuable information that took him
years to acquire. He will give the
modes of cultivation, the varieties
best adapted to our soil and climate,
time and way of planting, how to
gather and handle for shipping and
other information tina. no truck
farmer can afford TO miss. He be-
gins this week series of articles
on the strawberry, which alone will
be worth the subscription price of
the paper. If you contemplate going
into this business, you should sub
scribe for the Meteor the first thing.
and write to it for any information
you may wish. Subscription price,
only $3.50 per annum. Address,
